Report Chris Green strikes as Lightning destroy Falcons Australian's 4 for 12 helps Lancashire to 57-run victory ECB Reporters Network 02-Jun-2024 • 33 mins ago Chris Green celebrates a wicket • MI News/NurPhoto via Getty Images Lancashire Lightning 179 for 7 (Bohannon 39, Bruce 35) beat Derbyshire Falcons 122 (Guest 42, Green 4-12) by 57 runs Lancashire Lightning inflicted a second defeat in three matches on Derbyshire Falcons when they eased to a comfortable 57-run victory in the Vitality Blast match at Emirates Old Trafford. After posting 179 for 7 in their 20 overs, Lightning restricted the Falcons to 122 all out, with highly-rated Australian signing Chris Green taking 4 for 12 to add to his rapid 22 in 11 balls late in Lancashire's innings. Asked to bat first, Lancashire made a fine start, Josh Bohannon taking 14 off three successive balls from Pat Brown and 42 runs being scored in the first four overs.
However, Luke Wells was bowled by Daryn Dupavillon for 5 and Bohannon caught at mid-off by Mitchell Wagstaff off Zak Chappell for 39 to leave the home side on 50 for 2 at the end of the powerplay. Lancashire skipper, Keaton Jennings, restored to fitness after a back spasm, made a breezy 16 before being dismissed in similar fashion to Wells off the bowling of Brown and the experiment of promoting Luke Wood up the order ended when he came down the wicket and was stumped off Samit Patel for 1. Tom Bruce and Matthew Hurst then put on 39 for the fifth wicket, their progres.
